NYC Allergy Report: Breathe Easy or Run for the Hills?
Ah, springtime in New York City. The flowers are blooming, the birds are singing...and your nose is running like a faucet. Yes, it's allergy season, that glorious time of year when breathing feels like a competitive sport. But fear not, fellow allergy sufferers, for I come bearing tidings – both good and bad (mostly bad, let's be honest).
The Great Tree Pollen Uprising
BREAKING NEWS: Tree pollen is having a field day today, reaching a whopping high level. Consider this your official Tree Pollen Alert. If you ever wondered what it's like to breathe through a cloud of dust bunnies, today's your lucky day! Just remember, misery loves company, so feel free to commiserate with your fellow red-eyed snifflers on the subway.
Other Allergic Annoyances
- Grass Pollen: Thankfully, chilling out at a low level today. You can take a break from the grass-is-always-greener mentality (because let's face it, with allergies like this, who even wants to go outside?).
- Mold: Lurking in the shadows at a low level. Just keep an eye out for any suspicious-looking damp corners, and maybe avoid that basement apartment showing (unless you're a fungus enthusiast).
- Dust Mites: Those microscopic roommates are showing a moderate level of enthusiasm today. Time to break out the vacuum cleaner and declare war on those pesky critters! Just try not to think about what you're actually sucking up.
Disclaimers and Disappearances
